Admissions

If you are considering Butts Primary School for your child(ren) please check the entrance criteria below. If there are more applications than there are places available, places will be allocated using the following criteria:-

1. Children in Public Care (looked after children).

2. Pupils who have a sibling already in attendance at the school and who will be still attending the school at the proposed admission date.

3. Pupils for whom a place at the school is essential on medical or social grounds as supported in writing by a medical practitioner or a social worker.

4. Distance between the home address and the school as measured in a straight line with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority.

5. The Governors offer Nursery places on a 'waiting-list' system. There is no specific catchment area restriction for this age. Prior to entering Nursery, there are home visits to ease the transition from home to school. Nursery also operates Open Days for children and parents to become familiar with staff and the building. Parents are informed by letter that gaining a Nursery place does not guarantee a Reception place within our school.
